Important facts about your ice and water dispenser■ Do not add ice from trays or bags to the

storage bin. It may not crush or dispensewell.

■ Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use ofnarrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up icecan jam the chute or cause the door inthe chute to freeze shut. If ice is blockingthe chute, poke it through with a woodenspoon.

■ Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in thestorage bin may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.

■ To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but nottouching, the dispenser opening.

■ Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected Cubed Ice.This happens occasionally when a fewcubes accidentally get directed to thecrusher.

■ After crushed ice is dispensed, somewater may drip from the chute.

■ The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the following ones. This is normal.

A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

Automatic IcemakerA newly-installed refrigerator may take 12–24hours to begin making ice.

The icemaker will produce seven cubes percycle—approximately 15 cycles or more in a 24-hour period, depending on freezercompartment temperature, roomtemperature, number of door openingsand other use conditions.

If the refrigerator is operated before thewater connection is made to the icemaker,set the power switch to O (off).

When the refrigerator has been connectedto the water supply, set the power switch to I (on). The green light will come on.

Throw away the first full bucket of ice.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweepof the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feelerarm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

It is normal for several cubes to be joinedtogether.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubeswill become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

After the icemaker has been turned onagain, there will be a delay of about 45minutes before the icemaker resumesoperations.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-averagewater pressure, you may hear the icemakerwater valve cycle on several times whenmaking one batch of ice. Recommendedwater pressure is 60 psi.

Normal operating sounds.Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.Modern refrigerators have more features and use newertechnology.

HUMMM...WHOOSH...

■ The new high efficiency compressor may run fasterand longer than your old refrigerator and you mayhear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating.

■ You may hear a whooshing sound when the doorsclose. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.

■ You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the refrigerator is first pluggedin, when the doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the refrigeratoror freezer compartments. The fans are helping tomaintain the correct temperatures.

■ If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you mayhear the fans come on in order to cool the lightbulbs.

■ The fans change speeds in order to provide optimalcooling and energy savings.

CLICKS, POPS,CRACKS and CHIRPS

■ You may hear cracking or popping sounds when therefrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as therefrigerator cools to the correct temperature.

■ The compressor may cause a clicking or chirpingsound when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).

■ The electronic control board may cause a clickingsound when relays activate to control refrigeratorcomponents.

■ Expansion and contraction of cooling coils duringand after defrost can cause a cracking or poppingsound.

■ After an icemaking cycle, you may hear the ice cubesdropping into the ice bucket.

WATER SOUNDS

■ The flow of refrigerant through the freezer coolingcoils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.

■ Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause asizzling, popping or buzzing sound during thedefrost cycle.

■ A water dripping noise may occur during the defrostcycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows intothe drain pan.

■ Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due topressure equalization.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
